CINCINNATI (AP) -- The Reds have put catcher Devin Mesoraco on the 15-day disabled list with a sore left hip that limited him to pinch hitting and being an interleague DH for the past six weeks.
Mesoraco hasn't caught in a game since April 12. In the last six weeks, he's been limited to 13 pinch-hit appearances and four games at DH. Mesoraco, an All-Star last season, is batting .178 with no homers and two RBIs.
The Reds reinstated left-handed reliever Manny Parra from the disabled list. He's 0-1 with a 2.70 ERA in seven appearances.
